In April, staff at the health centre notified the Greater Sudbury Police Service “concerning activity on a computer located within the hospital,” according to a release.

The internet child exploitation and computer forensic units of the police service launched an investigation “as it was suspected that child pornography was being accessed and possessed on this device,” the service said.

Search warrants were executed at various locations and a forensic examination was conducted on the computer seized from HSN. Investigators confirmed that child pornography was accessed and located on the computer.

On Wednesday, a 48-year-old man from Greater Sudbury was arrested and charged with seven counts of accessing child pornography and two counts of possession of child porn.

The charges have yet to be proven in a court of law.

The accused will be attending bail court on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. to answer to the charges.

Police said his name cannot be released at this time as the information has not yet been sworn to through the court process.
